Monster - Classic 5 Ft Microphone Cable - 3-Pin XLR Male to XLR Female - Silver-Plated Contacts - Black

Monster provides a professional-grade audio solution with the Prolink Classic 5-foot microphone cable, specifically engineered for short-range connections between microphones, interfaces, and mixers. This cable features a balanced 3-pin XLR-to-XLR configuration with silver-plated contact points to maintain high-conductivity signal transfer and low electrical resistance. The internal architecture utilizes MultiTwist construction and a high-density 95% copper braided shield to protect against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Additionally, its magnetic interference resistance is designed to minimize hum from power transformers and adjacent electrical cabling in busy studio or stage environments. The exterior is wrapped in a flexible Duraflex protective jacket that resists abrasions and cuts while allowing for easy management and coiling. Built with nickel-plated connector shells and a shock-resistant internal design, this cable is intended to withstand frequent use while dampening mechanical vibrations that can lead to microphonic noise. This XLR cable is compatible with a wide range of professional audio equipment requiring a standard 3-pin balanced connection.

• 5-Foot Length for Optimized Short-Range Signal Paths: This 5-foot XLR cable is purpose-built for short-range connections, making it the ideal choice for linking microphones to desktop interfaces or connecting outboard gear within a rack. The shorter length is intentional to minimize the signal path, reducing potential capacitance and maintaining high-frequency clarity for vocal and instrument recording. Precision-machined 3-pin XLR connectors provide a secure, professional interface.
• MultiTwist Construction and Balanced Signal Architecture: Features a specialized MultiTwist internal architecture where conductors are tightly twisted to enhance noise cancellation. This design improves the cable's ability to reject interference, ensuring the audio signal remains clean even when routed near electronics. The balanced XLR configuration effectively cancels out noise picked up along the cable, making it a reliable choice for professional high-fidelity audio applications.
• 95% Copper Braided Shielding for Advanced Noise Rejection: To ensure a quiet signal path in high-interference environments, this cable features a high-density 95% copper braided shield. This layer serves as a robust defense against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, reducing unwanted hum and buzz. The integration of magnetic interference resistance further shields the signal from hum generated by power transformers and adjacent cabling in crowded studio or stage setups.
• Silver-Plated Contacts and Nickel-Plated Connector Shells: The connectors feature silver contact points to ensure high-conductivity signal transfer and low electrical resistance. This supports an efficient connection that preserves the integrity of delicate microphone signals for detailed audio reproduction. These components are housed in durable nickel-plated shells designed to withstand frequent use, protecting internal solder points from physical stress and providing structural reliability.
• Duraflex Protective Jacket & Shock-Resistant Internal Build: Wrapped in a proprietary Duraflex jacket, this cable offers high tensile strength and cut resistance while remaining flexible for easy coiling. The internal assembly features a shock-resistant design to dampen mechanical vibrations that lead to microphonic noise. This reinforcement protects sensitive copper conductors from physical impacts, ensuring the cable maintains its electrical properties during active stage performances.
